Alfa Romeo To Be Sold At The Top Selling Fiat Stores (For Now)

As weird as it sounds, I'd love to have a '77-79 Impala 2dr or Caprice 2dr as a hobby car.  Straight 6 or 305 would be fine...I've just always liked that rear window and the overall shape.   I really need to get back out to the PNW for a vacation...been a long time since I've been out there.

I wholeheartedly agree.  The '77 had the cleaner vertical bars with the stacked lamps as opposed to the '76's diamond hatch grill. Back then, there were a lot of options and not everything was put into strict and limited packages. It would have been nice to get the plush up-level interior, the gauge package, and a tilt wheel, yet not put on too many of the electric gizmos. On the exterior, those spirograph wheels are actually wheel covers, hence susceptible to sticky fingers. But they look mighty fine. Then, you'd need dual body colored sport mirrors to go with all that.  Pass on a vinyl roof. Now here's where I might be crazy.  I would just get the basic standard engine.  It was the 250 cubic inch inline 6 by Chevrolet.  Those have a 7 main bearing crank and they are in it for the long haul.  They purr differently than does a V8, but they were definitely smoother than the V6 (by Buick) of that day.  So that's a package that features the looks inside and out, but also has a simple and reliable DIY setup in the engine bay.  You'll just have to live with 105 horses.  People may honk at you! I'm glad you like this car.  Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on this forum who carries a big torch for the GM colonnades.  And that my detailed knowledge of them is nerdy! Happy hump day, folks.  It's also Whopper Wednesday.

TPM 2.0 is grossly overrated imho. I see no reason to not stay on Windows 10 for a while longer and if MSFT does something to hinder 10, then I will probably install one of the Linux options.

@A Horse With No Name @Robert Hall @oldshurst442 Agree, national scale, the country leadership is over due to the Russian Asset Puppet the Zombie Boomers put in office trying to live in the past. Locally, I love living in Washington State, Mild Winters, but 1-2 hrs to drive up and enjoy winter sports. Parks, trails, biking, so much to do and see, love it here. Not to mention the wine, beer and food scene here.

I have a neighbor here that has a 5-year-old Mercedes and it has rust spots and moss all over since she never washes it, I suspect the rust is from clogged drains since she leaves it outside year-round by pine trees. Some just never learn how to take care of an auto. Agree, I see inaction all the time with social media posts of people recording ICE doing illegal things and no one walking up demanding accountability. ICE has started to do this Nazi BS here in Issaquah, I told my wife to carry her passport as she cares for our newest grandson and takes him all over, will help with proving she is a U.S. citizen, Korean by birth. I also told her to call me if anything like this happens.  I will not tolerate this Nazi BS.
